[GlaD1]

As expected, Primoz Roglic has signed up with Bora-Hansgrohe for the 2024 season. The almost 34-year-old Slovenian rider should be the leader of the German team in the next Tour de France.
The day he announced his departure from Jumbo-Visma, Primoz Roglic explained that he would wait until the end of the Italian classics to unveil his new team. But it was finally this Friday, on the eve of the Tour of Lombardy, that the Bora-Hansgrohe team and the Slovenian rider spilled the beans. As rumors have been announcing since the start of the week, the winner of the last Giro will wear the German team's jersey next season.

I'm looking forward to this step, even if a change of team is a bit like new territory for me. The good memories of our meeting years ago made the discussions easier. But the deciding factor was that the team is really motivated to work. with me, and that we share the same ideas” confided the runner, who will celebrate his 34th birthday at the end of the month.3

Roglic almost signed eight years ago
The boss of the Bora-Hansgrohe team, Ralph Denk, also expressed his joy: “As a cyclist and Team Manager, patience is essential. It is not always the first attack that leads to success. Eight years ago, Primoz almost joined us as a neo-pro. Now he comes to us as a pro with a long list of victories that very few others have achieved. For us, the decisive factor was not what was achieved, but what lies ahead. Together, we want to leave our mark on the big races. Primoz appreciates the strength of our team and knows the great potential of his future teammates. I am convinced that his personality will inspire the whole team, because he is a leader with the will to win and at the same time a team player. But above all, he really loves what he does and for me, that is the key to success. »

A team that looks great
Without a doubt, Primoz Roglic will be the leader of the German team in the next Tour de France, the only Grand Tour missing from his record, which Jumbo-Visma could no longer guarantee him with the emergence of Jonas Vingegaard. Also with Emanuel Buchmann, Jai Hindley, Lennard Kämna, Daniel Martinez, Aleksandr Vlasov and even Cian Uijtdebroecks, the Bora-Hansgrohe team will look very good in 2024 and Primoz Roglic will be able to count on serious teammates to lead it to triumph on the Big loop. But Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel also dream of it…
